Hi everyone yet another question. Can someone tell me why it seems that " World Travellers" seem to favour straight bars and yet most Touring Bikes come equipped with drop bars. Is it a fashion thing or something.
As an experiment I am about to change over to straights and I am awaiting delivery of the brake lever & gear levers but having swapped my old mountain bike bars over and just tried the riding position it already seems more comfortable. I will of cause have to reserve my opinion to whether it is or not until I have tried it on the road.
I will be particularly interested to find out whether it makes climbing hills easier or harder but if necessary I could always fit some bar ends I suppose.
I would be interested in learning of anyones views and experiences.
